Mark, I feel the same way. I really enjoy reedmaking even though I have only been playing on my own reeds for three years, but I am also a craftsperson who enjoys working with my hands, so it is an ideal hobby for me. It has enhanced my playing a huge degree, not least because I simply understand the reeds.
I find myself marvelling at the fact that I am going pretty well with my reeds and my playing, then I think back even 6 months ago, when I also thought I was doing pretty well, but can see how much I have improved since that point. One of the things I am enjoying about this process as an adult is that I can actually see progress, whereas as a youngster you tend to be a little more oblivious and focus on the now.
